Artistic Process Options

[odds]

Giving the wondrously euphoric nature of this game's atmosphere, it'd be fantastic to learn from the minds that brought it to life. If any of the artists from ACE would like to do a stage-by-stage artistic process walk-through, or even tutorials for sketching f$%*ed up creatures and environments, that'd be sick.

Given that I have a decent background of concept art and some matte painting [and I could emagine that other members here also share a similar interest], it's always enlightening to see how other go about their own development process

By the way, if anyone but Carlos answers this I don't even wanna hear it, he wins. (just kiddin <3! all the artists are badass)

I have a personal question for the art team - Do any of you prefer the Wacom Intuos 4 over the Intuos 3? (if you could explain why then even more awesome points are rewarded!)

-Also, if you don't mind me asking, if you could list any inspiring concept artists that come to mind when you're trying to create such a diverse universe?

-Thanks for your time

Honestly, I don't even remember which one we have at the office (I'm answering from home). I think it's the Intuos 3. Isn't the Intuos 4 just a newer model? I remember having one of the very first Wacom tablets that came out and it was almost as good as the current ones. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think the tablet size is what you have to worry about, not the model. You may feel more comfortable with a larger or smaller tablet. I use a 6x8 tablet.

Well, John Blanche would be the obvious answer, but you'd have to get Edmundo (art director) to respond if you want a more complete answer.
